A GANG OF THREE.
The Tale Of O Summer Episode at
Hardacre Flat.
JENNIE DAVIS BURTON.



It would be hard to find three rougher-
looking men than the trio who slouched
into Hardacre Flat at the close of June
day and took possession of deserted
cabin there; and had it not been for q
fourth in their company, mere smooth
faced youth, who created a favorable i'm
preston ON the Hardacre men, it is likely
mat they would have received an order
to march on before the sinking sun with
drew his last red tinge from the snow
capped peaks which bounded the hori-
ION. Indeed, Digby Allison, who took
it on himself to interview the strangers,
afterward said as much.
"We're a new camp hyar, an hain't
got no organized perlice force nor city
charter goin' yet, but we know how to
keep crar of troublesome company" he
explained to these doubtful visitors.
"Ony las week we run out the two

unshorn trio, but the boyish member of
the party came easily forward and took
the words out of his mouth.

he concluded, drawing out some small
silver coins and a mere showing of gold
dust

to the crowd, then fixed his attention

the words with a smile and glance of
grateful affection toward his fellows So
they took it, at least; and Allison was
enough affected by the recital to flavor
his report to the camp with decided
eMogy upon Grant Truebody, as he had
discovered the young man to be named.

There was manit reluctance on the
part of the Hardie faction, but they
complied with thpleading at last, and
when the three lsoners were brought

He gave sidelong glance which took
note of the three disturbed faces, and
moment or two afterward got up and
sauntered away. When he returned, after
a time, the older of the three tramping
miners began to speak.

this muttered between themselves while
Truebody was outside bidding good
night to their guests.
For two or three days there was little
seen of the three men around the camp;
but Truebody, being fresher and having
no need to seclude himself, mingled freely
with the miners, and made himself a
favorite wherever he went. That was
the way that he came to be on hand,
hidden among the crowd, when the semi
weekly stage came in and dropped two
passengers; and how he managed to learn
their business in the short time which
elapsed before he rejoined his comrades

a box which answered for seat and
keeping his eyes on a bit of stick he was
whiting, he told them the news.
